Graduation Prayer At Arkansas High School Challenged

In Jonesboro, Arkansas, a prayer offered by a student at high school graduation is likely to become the subject of litigation. KAIT News reports that the ACLU is seeking a plaintiff to pursue a case against Jonesboro High School. Speaking at graduation ceremonies last May, high school senior Jessica Reed gave a 4-minute prayer which included an "altar call", asking those in the audience to come forward to accept Jesus Christ. Jonesboro Public Schools Attorney Donn Mixon said that the prayer violated school policy, and that the policy will be enforced in the future.
